diffusely to the costa. Hind wing: as in P. brassicce but the ground- 

 colour not so yellow ; the black terminal band of the upperside can 

 be seen through faintly by transparency ; the black subcostal spot 

 as in P. brassicce, with a second black spot in interspace 3. $ . 

 Upperside: as in $ of P. brassica, but as in the rf of its own form, 

 the inner margin of the black area at apex and on termen of fore 

 wing not smoothly curved but sinuate. Hind wing : a black terminal 

 band like that in the cT but broader and divided by the white veins 

 into a series of inwardly diffuse subquadrate spots ; a small black 

 spot in interspace 3, another in interspace 5, the latter joined to 

 the subcostal black spot which is particularly large and prominent.

c? . Upperside : white to pale cream-colour. Fore wing : base and 

 basal portion of costa, and base and upper margin of cell irrorated 

 with black scales ; apex and terminal margin to about the middle, 

 decreasing!}', black, on the latter the black extended for n very short 

 distance triangularly along the veins ; a round black spot in inter- 

 space 3. Hind wing : a subcostal black spot as in P. rapce, but 

 generally larger and more conspicuous, and a series of four or five 

 terminal black spots that vary in size at the apices of the veins. 

 Underside : fore wing white ; cell and costa lightly irrorated with 

 black scales; apex somewhat broadly tinged with ochraceous 

 yellow; interspaces 1, 3 and 5 with conspicuous subquadrate black 

 spots, the spot in interspace 1 sometimes extended into interspace 

 1 a, that in 5 ill-defined. Hind wing : from pale, almost white, to 

 dark ochraceous, thickly irrorated all over (with the exception of a 

 longitudinal streak in the cell, and in the darker specimens similar 

 longitudinal streaks in the interspaces) with black scales ; costa 

 above vein 8 chrome-yellow. Antennae black with minute white 

 specks ; the long hairs on head and thorax greenish-grey; abdomen 

 black ; beneath : head, thorax and abdomen white. $ . Upperside : 

 similar to that of the rf but the irroration of black scales more 

 extended and prominent, the black on the apex and termen of the 

 fore wing and the black spots on the termen of the hind wing broader, 

 more extended inwards; on the fore wing there is an additional 

 spot in interspace 1, and both this and the spot in interspace 3 in
